FoxEasyBundle — Save System & Soft Reference Toolkit
Two Blueprint-friendly C++ plugins at a bundle price. Save and load data without a USaveGame subclass, and manage references without hard-reference cascades: async soft loading, actor lookups without Cast, and tag-based messaging between Blueprints. Both plugins ship with full documentation and a beginner's guide.

KEY FEATURES
1. No USaveGame subclass — A slot is just a name. Save and load named values directly, with typed nodes for String, Int, Float, Bool, Vector, Transform, Soft Object Reference and GameplayTag. Every Load node takes a default value, so missing keys never crash.
2. Auto-versioning with migration — Each slot tracks its own version. Register a migration delegate and old saves are transformed to the new schema on load, without breaking existing player saves.
3. Sync and async disk I/O — Synchronous SaveSlot and LoadSlot for startup and level transitions, latent SaveSlotAsync and LoadSlotAsync to save mid-game without frame hitches. A Player Profile pattern with SwitchActiveProfile is included.
4. Soft references made easy — Async-load any soft object or class with a single latent node. Soft Cast and Soft Spawn avoid hard references that drag whole classes into memory; deferred spawn is supported.
5. Cross-Blueprint Registry — Actors register by name, tag or interface. Any Blueprint finds them without Cast and without GetAllActorsOfClass, including nearest-actor-with-tag lookups.
6. Message Bus — Tag-based publish/subscribe as an alternative to Event Dispatchers for one-to-many events. Sender and receiver never need a reference to each other.
7. Drop-in components and subsystems — Fox Registry Component and Fox Message Bus Component handle auto-register and cleanup. Fox Easy Save runs as a GameInstance subsystem with OnSlotSaved, OnSlotLoaded and OnSlotMigrated events.
